Guildenstern & Rosencrantz

In the play when Horatio says, "Guildenstern and Rosencrantz go to 't" i think he speaking to Hamlet about the two men in an approving/agreeing way. Horatio had no relations with these men and knows that they have betrayed Hamlet, allowing him to try and be killed in England.Horatio is Hamlets best friend and he see's no need for those two men, who have not helped, but have caused destruction. They betrayed Hamlet as they were both his school friends and now they are spies of the king, trying to get their so called friend killed. They do not care about Hamlet and how he feels, but they both just look out for their own interests.The two men didn't show true friendship so Hamlet gave them what he believed they deserved. The ultimate punishment, which was death for both Guildenstern and Rosencrantz.
